            Bug ID: 18061
           Summary: Gold linker resolves symbols as thumb in arm mode
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
          Assignee: ccoutant at google dot com

The gold linker causes a bug in (Qt)WebKit when building in non-thumb mode on
with an armv7 architecture.

It appears that when taking the address of methods declared with extern "C" we
get a value with the least signicant bit set. This address is used by
JavaScriptCore to generate an assembler thunk, which when executed causes a
segmentation fault, apparently due to a mismatch in arm/thumb mode.
